Locals reported yesterday that credit and Debit Card systems at US Postal Service locations were unavailable for use for a brief period yesterday. National reports confirmed that across the nation, the US Post Office experienced a temporary freeze in their credit card systems, requiring customers to pay in cash. However, the outage did not effect all postal service locations. Pine Grove reported system failure while Jackson employees said the system was working as normal. All credit card systems are functioning again as normal. There was no formal statement from the US Post Office on the matter.
